[closed] everyone was watching you as everything just slipped away

Who: Akane Tsunemori ([personal profile] condoner), and friends.
When: 17 April (IC)
Where: The Chilling Cave
What: The Psycho-Pass cast (and then some) go ice skating.
Rating/Warning: Warning for Gino's sadness.




[ upon kogami's suggestion, akane's taken it upon herself to find a suitable (ha ha) way of celebrating her 23rd birthday! she found the chilling cave by coincidence while patrolling the streets once and decided that she wants to try ice skating.

so after texting the guys (brother, mom, and dad), as well as a couple of friends (really, it's just a couple. she doesn't have much friends) if they're free on the 17th, she waits outside the chilling cave, hoping to meet up with her friends.

it's time… to chill! ]

[ He skaaaates right up to him again. Sorry, bro, it's a one-way lane. ]

You're upset. I said some things I shouldn't have.

[ Hurting Ginoza wasn't his intention. He wants to blame it on the books, but that seems like a cop out. No doubt it would infuriate his friend even more. ]

[ Upset doesn't even cover the half of it. Gino stubbornly doesn't even look at Kogami as the man catches up to him, nor does he make effort to keep pace with him. ]

You're really going to bring this up here?

[ He's trying so hard not to upset Akane on her birthday. ]

Am I interrupting something?

[ AS IF THERE'S A GOOD TIME FOR THIS. ]
coefficiency: (what the hell do you want)

[personal profile] coefficiency 2015-12-14 09:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ KOGAMI YOU'RE RIDICULOUS. ]

It's Tsunemori's birthday. [ He doesn't want to have this conversation. Kogami will inevitably touch a nerve and he'll lose his temper. ]

She's not an idiot, Gino, she can sense the tension even if you pretend otherwise. Are things really going to be this way from now?
coefficiency: (never see a side eye so good again)

[personal profile] coefficiency 2015-12-14 09:54 am (UTC)(link)
I know. [ Tsunemori is smart. More than that, she's sharp as a tack combined with great intuition. Though honestly, anyone with eyes could see the tension between him and Kogami, regardless of knowing their history.

Gino stops with a sharp scrape of his skates, fingers curling into fists at his sides. ]


In case you hadn't noticed, it's been like this for a while. [ (Maybe if you hadn't been so occupied with your revenge—) ]

Because you can't learn to compromise. What am I supposed to do when it's the Gino way or no way?

[ They're doing great. ]
coefficiency: (i'm right you're not)

[personal profile] coefficiency 2015-12-14 10:03 am (UTC)(link)
Are you just here to criticize me or did you have something important to say?

[ That took about thirty seconds. Almost a record. ]

Besides, you were top of the class, Shinya. I'm sure you'll think of something. [ Could this be any more snide? ]

What about a time machine? So I can go back and tell myself not to study and do well in class?

[ Back to this issue, are we... ]
coefficiency: (this is an order)

[personal profile] coefficiency 2015-12-15 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
How is that even a valid answer?

[ what the fuck ]

Quit messing around and get to the point, if you even have one.

[ Like his comment was any less ridiculous... ]

You're holding something against me that I can't change, so that's the response you deserve.
coefficiency: (peeking over your shoulder)

[personal profile] coefficiency 2015-12-15 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
Is that what you came over here to say?

[ Ugh, why did he even engage in this conversation. ]
abhors: (pic#9520652)

[personal profile] abhors 2015-12-15 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
Tsunemori wanted me to patch things up with you.

I'd like to know what you want.
coefficiency: (i dare you to say that again)

[personal profile] coefficiency 2015-12-15 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
So, you're doing this solely because Akane wants you to.

[ Wrong thing to say, Kogami. ]

What I want is impossible.

[personal profile] abhors 2015-12-15 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
Tsunemori can't make me do something I wouldn't do. [ He was hoping it would explain the timing of this conversation, but once again Ginoza is focusing on the wrong thing. ]

At least we agree on one thing, Gino, what you want isn't possible. There are no do-overs in life.
coefficiency: (memoirs)

[ They never seem to be on the same page anymore. Gino, for his part, has difficulty seeing positive intent. When it comes to Kogami, it's only negative.

A habit he's ground into himself, because assuming the worst meant he couldn't be more disappointed. ]


And what do you want, Shinya?

[ Kogami wants a whiskey. ]

Did you mean what you said about me being a mistake?

[ Has he really caused him so much grief even as far back as highschool? When he was top of the class, something he never even aimed for? He feels responsible enough for the man's Psycho-Pass deteriorating over time... ]
coefficiency: (i'm not certain you understand)

[personal profile] coefficiency 2015-12-15 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ They both honestly should have a drink after this.

Gino's silent for a while, words sticking at the back of his throat. There's a weight on his chest and he feels like he can't breathe it out. The hurt part of himself wants to say yes, to just explode all over again.

Too bad there are still good memories from a time that almost doesn't seem real anymore. ]



If you are, it's because I'm an idiot. Since apparently, I was only riding on your coattails in Division One's success.

[ Not that he worked hard to get there. To become Inspector, like he said he would. ]
abhors: (pic#9520631)

[personal profile] abhors 2015-12-15 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
You're wrong.

[ If anything, Kogami ruined the division's reputation in the end. He knew that even as he decided to leave them. Of course, since these are grown men who can't have an actual conversation, the words that really need to be said go unsaid. ]
coefficiency: (my anger is overwhelming)

[personal profile] coefficiency 2015-12-15 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ Almost incredulous, Gino stares at Kogami, expression slowly shifting from disbelief to recognizable anger. ]

Of course. I've never been right my entire life. Thanks for pointing that out.

[ Naturally, the words that should've been said probably would've smoothed this over. Instead, he's suddenly in motion, skating away from Kogami hurriedly and heading for the exit. He's had enough of this. ]
abhors: (yelling at coworker or criminal)

[personal profile] abhors 2015-12-15 12:33 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not what I...

[ Oh, great, Ginoza is retreating again. Kogami doesn't follow, but he does speak up loud enough for others to hear him, even if the other man may not as he leaves. ]

--yeah, run off again! Do you even know who you're becoming?!

[ ... There's no answer. Ginoza has left. ]



[ The answer was Shinya Kogami. ]
